Confocal microscopic findings of Pf-calpain of P. falciparum in the erythrocytic cycle. Panel A shows P. falciparum revealed by Giemsa staining. Panels B–E show immunofluorescence results. (B) The blue color is nuclear staining by DAPI. (C) The red color is Pf-calpain staining by anti-Pf-calpain antibody A (panels B and C) and antibody B (panels D and E) and Cy-3-conjugated secondary antibodies. Panels B and D show the immunofluorescence in darkness and panels C and E show the immunofluorescence in bright light as a merged image. ×1000 magnification.
